  4. 2. Regulatory Factors that Reveal Three Distinct Adipocytes : The Brown, the White and the Brite

    Author : Tomas B. Waldén; Jan Nedergaard; Stephen R. Farmer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipocyte; UCP1; brite; brown; white; Hox Zic; miRNA; Physiology; Fysiologi; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Adipose tissues have long been considered to derive from a common origin. Even the functionally different brown and white adipose tissues were generalized to share a common origin. Brown adipose tissue is a highly innervated and vascularised tissue containing multilocular and multimitochondrial brown adipocytes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pathophysiological regulation of white adipocyte exocytosis of different adiponectin molecular forms

    Author : Musovic Saliha; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; White adipocytes; adiponectin exocytosis secretion; health and metabolic disease;

    Abstract : In this thesis we have identified mechanisms involved in the exocytosis of different adiponectin molecular forms in health and in metabolic disease. We have also studied similarities and differences in depot-specific adipocyte adiponectin release. READ MORE

  6. 4. Brown is the new white: consequences of white adipose tissue alterations in Huntington's disease

    Author : Andy Mccourt; Biomarkörer vid hjärnsjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Huntington’s disease; weight loss; white adipose tissue; brown adipose tissue; peripheral symptoms; R6 2 mice; UCP1; CREB1; gene expression;

    Abstract : Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating, inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene. Peripheral symptoms, such as skeletal muscle wasting, progressive weight loss, altered body composition and endocrine disturbances exist alongside neurodegeneration. READ MORE

  7. 5. Who is Who in the Adipose Organ : A look at the Heterogeneity of Adipocyte Biology

    Author : Jasper de Jong; Jan Nedergaard; Christian Wolfrum; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adipose tissue; Adipocyte; Brown; White; Brite Beige; Physiology; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : The increasing prevalence of obesity and related health complications, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, demands thorough investigation of the underlying processes. One of the key tissues investigated in this context is adipose tissue. READ MORE
